In September 2017, soon after the release of their debut studio album Luv Is Rage 2 , Lil Uzi Vert teased that they were working on a song for a sequel to their 2016 mixtape Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World . [5] [6] On July 31, 2018, they teased an upcoming album titled Eternal Atake . [7] However, the album was continuously delayed for a year and a half. [8] Eternal Atake was finally released on March 6, 2020. [9] Soon after the long-awaited release of Eternal Atake, Uzi teased a deluxe version of their album on Twitter.

In the following days, Uzi teased that eight songs were going on the deluxe version of their album. [10] On March 12, 2020, they revealed that 14 songs were going on the album. It was revealed shortly after that the tracks for their "deluxe album" were going to be on a separate album titled Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2, serving as a "second part" to Eternal Atake as well as the successor to Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World. [3] Like its predecessor Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World, the cover art for the album is inspired by Canadian graphic novel series Scott Pilgrim . [11] Chris Mench wrote for Genius that collaborations with Young Thug, Juice Wrld, and A Boogie wit da Hoodie were expected on the album. [12] Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 was released on March 13, 2020 at 8:00 AM EST. [13] The album features multiple guest artists in comparison to the original Eternal Atake that contained a sole guest feature from American singer Syd. [1] Brendan Klinkenberg of Rolling Stone wrote that while "Eternal Atake was all but devoid of features [...] its sister album has a murderer’s row of guest appearances." [2]

Mehan Jayasuriya of Pitchfork reviewed Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 separately from Eternal Atake. [14] [lower-alpha 3] Jayasuriya stated that Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2 was closer to a deluxe edition than a separate album, describing the album as a "cobbled-together collection of B-sides", but good ones nonetheless. [14] Jayasuriya praised "Lotus", "Myron", "Bean (Kobe)" with Chief Keef and "Got the Guap" with Young Thug as the high points of the album. [14] However, Jayasuriya noted that "some of LUV vs. The World 2's collaborations sounded better on paper" including Future, Gunna, and Nav. [14]
